109 gail--My Repurposed Life Blogger Louisville, KY on Apr 14, 2012 Like Clip How I painted my oak cabinets Because my kitchen has only one small window, it tends to be very dark. I decided to brighten up the room by painting my cabinets. I have a step by step process on My Repurposed Life http://www.myrepurposedlife.net/2010/12/how-... I painted the cabinets about 18 months ago. Not a nick or a scratch anywhere. I really took a lot of precautions to make sure this paint STUCK. Like Clip 4 Before, note the one small window that allows very little light in the kitchen due to a patio and a huge tree. Like Clip I did a lot of prep work before I started priming. Like Clip 1 I used a paint sprayer to primer and paint all of the doors and drawer fronts. Like Clip 1 After several coats of primer and semi-gloss paint. Like Clip 2 I painted my hinges and installed new knobs instead of the brass colored handles. Like Clip 16 After--so much cleaner and brighter looking, don't ya think?

I too have only one window but my kitchen isn't too dark or maybe I would too. Anyway the white looks good too. NOTE: You can drag and drop your photos to reorder them Required Comment Saving...
